General safety notes
For the installation of add-on carrying equipment (e.g. sports and
luggage container, ski rack), please observe the respective installation
instructions.
Take note of the change in the vehicle dimensions when the basic carrier
bars are installed.
For safety reasons, and in order to save fuel, the basic carrier bars should
be removed from the vehicle when not in use.
Do not enter an automatic car wash when the basic carrier bars are fitted
to the vehicle.
Installation
Installation is shown at the rear basic carrier bar on the M-Class by way
of example. The installation of the front basic carrier bar on the M-Class
and the basic carrier bars on the GL-Class and on the GLK should be
performed in the same manner.
The front basic carrier bar of the X-Class is installed directly behind the
front foot of the roof rail.
Have a second person assist you with the installation.

Important
Do not touch the vehicle roof with the quick-release device. You
could otherwise scratch or damage the paintwork.
